Friends of Hamlin Beach State Park receives grant to enhance park’s accessibility
The Friends of Hamlin Beach State Park (FOHBSP) was awarded a $135,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Fund’s Park and Trail Partnership Grants program to create accessibility in Area 4 in and around the hexagon building and nearby bathroom. It is phase one of a project that will lead to the public use and access to the old concession stand, which is earmarked for an accessible nature and visitor center for Hamlin Beach State Park. The FOHBSP will have to raise an additional $15,000 in matching funds for a $150,000 total project budget.
The Friends of Hamlin Beach State Park is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit volunteer organization that supports and promotes the preservation, conservation, improvement and development of Hamlin Beach State Park and the former CCC/POW site located on park property for the benefit of the public and posterity. This is part of a multiphase project to create an educational and informational building and area easily accessible to the visitors of the park. This will upgrade the experience at the park by providing an area for park-led and self-guided educational opportunities. It will provide a place where the Friends can showcase their volunteer efforts with the planting and maintenance of the native pollinating gardens and trails in the park, as well as their monitoring of bird populations. It will also give the FOHBSP the ability to share the history of the CCC/POW site and the impact of their work on the park and in the community. Friends look forward to enhancing the park experience and welcoming all to enjoy the treasure of Hamlin Beach State Park.
The grant is one of 22 awards totaling $1.7 million for organizations dedicated to the stewardship and promotion of New York’s state parks and historic sites, trails, and public lands. The grants will be matched with private and local funding and will support projects to strengthen Friends groups and enhance public access and recreational opportunities.
Friends groups – nonprofit organizations often made up entirely of volunteers – are essential to the stewardship and promotion of New York’s state park system. These dedicated groups raise private funds for capital projects, perform maintenance tasks, provide educational programming, and promote public use through hosting special events.
The Park and Trail Partnership Grants are administered by Parks & Trails New York, a statewide non-profit organization, in partnership with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation and the Department of Environmental Conservation.
Grants ranging from just under $5,000 to $300,000 were awarded to groups across the state. Parks & Trails New York Executive Director Paul Steely White said, “In the program’s most competitive year yet, these groups rose to the top with compelling projects created to make a meaningful impact on the communities and individuals who need public lands most. These vital projects will attract millions of visitors by creating new trails and footpaths, developing educational programs, and constructing ADA accessible bathrooms, just to name a few. We’re proud to continue investing in the growth of park programming and infrastructure that lays the groundwork for long-term stability, so New Yorkers can enjoy our state’s protected lands for years to come.”

Fighting for his rights
Andrew dreams of being an emergency medical technician (EMT).
The Murray resident wants nothing more to help other people in his community, and with the shortage of EMTs in New York state alone, he saw the perfect opportunity.
“However, a lot of these commercial agencies, they don’t hire CFRs (Certified First Responders) to drive for them,” he said. “They claim the state has a protocol saying you have to be an EMT or higher to work on ambulance. The state has told me they do not have a policy in place you have to be an EMT or higher to work on ambulance.”
Determined to chase his dream, Andrew tried taking an EMT class in 2016, as well as a CFR class in March 2019. However, both times the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of EMS denied his testing accommodations. Not to be deterred, he took an EMT class in the summer of 2022, yet again the state denied his testing accommodations.
Andrew has an intellectual learning disability. He said there are things he may need repeated twice and sometimes showing tasks handon is helpful to him. Andrew has been with Arc GLOW since January 2024, receiving self-direction services.
The testing accommodations he was asking for was a separate testing location, the test read and extended time. The ability to have the test read to him is what the state was denying.
This directly violates New York state’s Reasonable Accommodations and Disability Rights, which defines reasonable accommodation as: “actions taken which permit an employee, prospective employee or member with a disability to perform in a reasonable manner the activities involved in the job or occupation sought or held and include, but are not limited to, provision of an accessible worksite, acquisition or modification of equipment, support services for persons with impaired hearing or vision, job restructuring and modified work schedules; provided, however, that such actions do not impose an undue hardship on the business, program or enterprise of the entity from which action is requested.
“Reasonable accommodations may include, but are not limited to: making existing facilities more readily accessible to individuals with disabilities; acquisition or modification of equipment; job restructuring; modified work sched-
although such a personal care assistant should be accommodated where provided by the employee at no cost to the employer; providing non-workrelated aids, such as a personal hearing aid or wheelchair, which are the employee’s own responsibility.”
“I was then pressured to file a case with the Division of Human Rights, which I did,” he said. “At that point the Division of Human Rights found probable cause against the New York state EMS for denying my testing accommodations.”
When Andrew took another CFR class in October 2023 with all his testing accommodations granted, he passed. Now, since February 2024, Andrew has his CFR card.
“People treat us differently. If they learn you have a disability, they’ll treat you differently,” he said. “My fire department I used to be part of, they treated me differently when they learned I had a disability. That’s not OK.”
Andrew suggests companies look at their policies and change them to be more accommodating and accepting. He said the shortage in EMTs is very significant, especially in Genesee and Orleans counties. With a policy requiring to have EMTs or higher working on ambulance bars people who might want to work.
Since December 2021, Andrew works as an independent contractor as a volunteer ambulance driver. His goal is to get enough experience under him before going again for his EMT certificate.

SUNY Brockport program offers tax assistance
For many Americans, tax season is a highly stressful time – even if you’re expecting a return. It can be especially overwhelming for young people, low-income families, and those who are still getting a handle on their finances. SUNY Brockport’s CASH/ Vita Program aims to help the local community feel more confident about their taxes.
“We literally do [the tax return] with them right next to us. We walk them through the entire thing. The communication is really good and they can feel comfortable enough to talk or speak up. I kind of feel like they’re learning with us,” said accounting student Haley Lozier.
The program was created to offer SUNY Brockport students valuable hands-on learning while giving back to the community. Accounting students earn IRS certification to gain real-world tax experience as they work with families and individuals filing their tax returns. The service is open to anyone who meets the income requirements – less than $67,000 a year for those with dependents in their household, or less than $37,000 without dependents. Clients range from local families to students at Brockport or other schools.
“Professor (Keith) Donnelly was pretty much the heart and soul of the program, and when he left it pretty much stopped,” said Dr. David Jacome. “We decided that it was time to get this program back in place.”
Dr. Jacome worked closely with Ellen Oberton, who runs the downtown CASH program, to help restart the initiative at Brockport. The fall semester focuses on preparing students for the IRS certification exam so they can do the hands-on work in the spring during tax season.
“Ellen would come in and she would go through everything, preparing us, and giving us all the information we needed to eventually take the test on our own. You take the test by the end of December, and then this semester you start meeting with clients,” explained Taylor Pawlenko, a student in the program. “It feels great being able to get certified by the IRS and to help people. I’m just a college student, I don’t have experience, but this is a great way to get started.”
Participants in the program understand how confusing and intimidating it can be to file your taxes, but the transparency of the program aims to bring their clients peace of mind.
“The focus is on helping these communities and getting their taxes done and making them feel confident. You know, a lot of these families are going through a lot of different things,” Dr. Jacome said. “This is something that we can help them with. We can at least take something off their plate and say, ‘Don’t worry about it. Your taxes are in good hands.’”

Opinion & Comments
Future of ambulance service in Brockport
The Village of Brockport ambulance contract is ending at the end of April and the village is not going to renew the contract.
At the last few board meetings, the Village Board has discussed their options. One option is to go with Monroe Ambulance, which the towns of Sweden and Clarkson use. The Village Board brought in a representative of Monroe Ambulance at the March 17 board meeting to talk about what they have to offer. Representatives from both Sweden and Clarkson were present in the audience. The Monroe Ambulance representative said that if the Village of Brockport were to join the towns of Sweden and Clarkson, Monroe Ambulance would have three ambulances in the area. One would be here all the time and the other two would be used as mutual aid, if necessary. Also, the Monroe representative stated they have three EMS training classes this year, and next year they would have five classes.
The other option for the Village of Brockport is to use Mercy Ambulance, which the Town of Hamlin and Village of Holley use. At the Village Board workshop on March 24, one of the trustees suggested that the board hear from Mercy. Most of the members decided not to.
Since the board represents the taxpayers and community, I feel it is ir-
responsible that they would not listen to Mercy Ambulance. The Village may still decide to use Monroe, but it is the Village Board’s obligation to listen to all options and get all information, then discuss the pros and cons of each. I believe Mercy has contracts with all of Orleans County and the Town of Hamlin at a lower cost than Monroe. Also, by speaking to Mercy, the Village would have their contact information for the future. There are so many questions that need to be answered. Why not talk to the other municipalities that use Mercy and see what their experiences are?
The Brockport Village Board is supposed to represent the taxpayers and community. All the community is asking is for them to get all the information and make the best decision. Also, it would be good if the board showed the information to the public and disclosed how they came to their decision.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the towns of Sweden, Clarkson and Hamlin and the villages of Holley and Brockport (possibly others) could come together and see what the ambulance service that is chosen could offer all the municipalities?

Mayor explains ambulance decision
It was apparent from the discussion at the Village Board workshop of March 24 how the majority of the board came to the conclusion that they did regarding ambulance service. To begin with, we needed to make a decision before the end of our contract with Brockport Ambulance (April 30). We had heard from Monroe on March 17 at a village board meeting what would be involved with serving three communities instead of two in this area, and they gave a full explanation of slow response times during the winter surge in RSV, COVID, and flu – increased demand, overcrowded emergency rooms, and waiting for beds for patients being delivered by ambulance.
With unlimited research time, it might have been useful to put out an RFP for ambulance service to see what Mercy or other providers could offer Brockport. A large part of our decision had to do with the other two communities here (Sweden and Clarkson) served by Monroe and the two towns’ evaluation of Monroe’s service. I spoke with both supervisors before the board decided what to do, and they stated: 1.

Town of Clarkson Notice of Public Hearing
Notice is hereby given that the Planning Board will hold their meeting at the Clarkson Town Hall at 3710 Lake Road, Clarkson, New York 14430, on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025, at 7:00pm to consider the following Application.
Applicant: ST2C LLC
Property Owner: ST2C LLC
Address: 100 Craig Hill Dr
Applicant requesting approval to construct a 3,000sqft. Golf cart barn is approximately 250’ northeast of the existing clubhouse.
All interested parties will be given the opportunity to be heard. Application is on file in the Town Clerks Office.
Maps and information are available at the Town Hall’s Building Department for viewing. By order of the Planning Board of the Town of Clarkson.

They were satisfied with Monroe; 2. No residents in either town had complained about Monroe; 3. The towns were not interested in pursuing Mercy or any other ambulance service at the present time.
Given the situation, it made no sense to see if Mercy would even be interested in serving a portion of an area already covered by another ambulance company. As for the cost of service, I do not believe the writer’s claims are accurate. On two different occasions nine months apart, I went to the ER by ambulance, once with Mercy and once with Monroe. Both companies are funded by third party billing, which bills the patient’s insurance company; the insured pays any difference. The charges from the two companies were identical, $35.
The door has not been closed on any other ambulance company serving Brockport, but for now, on behalf of our residents, we believe we made the logical and sensible decision.

Blessing of Easter baskets at St. John the Evangelist Church
St. John the Evangelist Church will hold its annual Blessing of the Easter Baskets on Saturday, April 19, at 3 p.m. Father Sriram Sadhanala will preside.
According to the Polish tradition of Swieconka (pronounced “shvyehnSOHN-kah”) or “Easter lunch,” each food to be blessed in the basket symbolizes an aspect of the Easter story. The elaborately decorated eggs called Pisanki, for example, represent hope and new life. The molded butter lamb and its red banner represent Jesus and the victory of life over death. Other traditional basket items include bread, lamb-shaped cakes, yeast cakes, salt, horseradish, and meats including kielbasa (Polish sausages), ham and lamb.
While there are many regional variations on the contents and their meanings, the foods are almost always placed in a lined wicker basket and covered with a white linen cloth. The basket is then decorated with sprigs of boxwood, forsythia, pussy willows or daffodils. Children fill their baskets with jelly beans, candy eggs
All are welcome to bring their baskets of food to the church that Saturday afternoon for the Easter basket blessing. There will be a take home treat for the children.
St John the Evangelist Church is located at 55 Martha Street, Spencerport. For more information, call 585-352-5481. Provided information and photo
Opinion & Comments
How federal and state cuts could impact the Ogden Farmers’ Library
A library is a vital part of any community, including Ogden. It is our mission to provide everyone a space to discover and develop ideas, information, and imagination. Libraries are a welcoming space for all and work to avoid political commentary, but we must communicate when politics is threatening our ability to succeed in our mission. Changes at the national and state level now threaten that mission.
At the federal level, President Trump recently signed an executive order greatly reducing the services and funding provided by the IMLS, the Institute of Museum and Library Services. At the state level, Governor Hochul’s proposed budget includes cuts to library funding.
Neither of these cuts would impact Ogden Farmers’ Library immediately or directly. Ogden’s Town Board wisely allocates enough money to provide a well-funded library to the community. However, both of these cuts would affect the library system we belong to – Monroe County Library System – and the New York State Library.
These cuts could impact Ogden residents in a variety of ways. The system provides such popular services as Libby, Kanopy, mi-fi devices, even the book delivery from other local libraries. Cuts to the State library could affect things like grants, library construction, and database access to the NOVELNY databases.
A lack of funding does not necessarily require that services be cut or reduced but it could result in cost increases. For example, MCLS could increase our cost of membership, which would mean that we need to find more funding locally. This could mean cuts to local services such as open hours or the Hoopla platform, or increased funding requests from the town, which would directly impact your taxes.
It is difficult to determine what will happen if either of these funding alterations occur. But if both funders left well enough alone, we would not be facing cuts at all. I encourage you to contact your elected officials to let them know your feelings about how important libraries are to you, and your desire to see them fully funded.
You can reach our national level elected officials at:
•President Trump: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ •Senator Schumer: https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact •Senator Gillibrand: https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/ •Representative Morelle: https://morelle.house.gov/contact

will lead attendees on a walk through the nature preserve. Daryl will point out species of trees and shrubs and what species are native or invasive to the area. After the nature walk, Will Macaluso, Preserve Manager for the Genesee Land Trust, will lead the group in removing invasive shrubs like multiflora rose and honeysuckle.
It is recommended that attendees wear long sleeves and long pants as some of the plants have thorns. Also, wear sturdy shoes that may get a bit muddy as there are some wet spots on the trail (but nothing that requires rubber boots). Those with their own gloves and pruners or small hand saws are welcome to bring them as well.
All nature lovers and enthusiasts are welcome. To attend, contact Dan Krist of Color Westside Green at danpkrist@gmail.com and let him know how many are in your group. Attendees may want to bring a light snack (fruit or granola bars, etc.) as well as a water bottle or beverage. Please note that there are no public restrooms at the preserve and the nearest public restrooms are approximately 1.5 miles away in Hilton (Parma Library, Tops, McDonalds, etc.). There are three benches at the Salmon Creek Nature Preserve for resting as well as an accessible observation deck with ramp, benches, and shade located about one-third of a mile from the parking lot. Please take any trash with you when you leave the preserve.
Sign up to attend a nature walk and help remove invasive plants from Salmon Creek Nature Preserve. Photo provided by the Genesee Land Trust staff.
